Original news service photo depicting Babe Ruth batting at Yankee Stadium prior to the 1932 World Series. capless Bambino has just followed through on his swing during what appears to be a sunny fall day in the Bronx. Included paper caption on verso is dated to 09/17/32, just two short weeks prior to Ruth's famous "called shot" at Wrigley Field in Game 3 of the 1932 Fall Classic. Photo measures 7" x 9" with sharp corners and an impressively clean emulsion surface that remains free of obvious flaws. Verso includes large credit stamping from Wide World with full paper caption still affixed along the bottom edge. Fresh to the hobby example is one of three Babe Ruth photos in this auction hailing from the same day and chronicling Ruth's return to the Yankees following a bout with appendicitis. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA.
